I seem to be getting some conflicting information here... let me
clarify what I need:

Diagram
                          XXXXXXXXX               XXXXXXXXX
============XXX-----------XXXXXXXXX===============XXXXXXXXX===== local ethernet
Ungermann-        coax    Broadband  transceiver   Datalink
Bass                        Modem      cable        Bridge
Cable

I know this is reasonable, because it has been implemented elsewhere on
campus.

I also know that a Broadband Modem is made by Chipcom Corp. in MA, and
Datalink Bridges are made by DEC (ie LAN Bridge 150).  Chipcom also
makes a combined broadband modem and datalink bridge called Ethermodem
III Bridge.

This setup can also be accomplished via an UB Access One box that includes
the modem and a bridge card.

I'm looking for alternatives to the $9K+ Access One setup, ie more vendors
for Broadband Modems and Datalink Bridges.  I've heard that Fiber Mux (sp?)
makes the modem but I don't know how to contact them.

Again, many thanks for any directives.

Eric
